I was Beading Away


finishing the crows tail and now working on it's underbelly...

 
One view of the tail feathers in matte, iridescent, and shiney black pony beads.
 
 
Another view of the tail.
 

And... then I realized I forgot to finish the wing!  Other than this minor mishap it's coming along and beautifully.

Coral Reef Series

Top pic is of the fabric before I started applying shiva paintstiks - I"m no where near being done with the surface of this piece, and then it needs to be stitched!!! My shiva iridescent blender is NOT cooperating, time to dig out a new one. Everytime I went to draw a line on the fabric it wouldn't lay down color, if I pressed harder it just started flaking apart not fun at all, I've had this blender for about four years now so that could be a part of the problem.

I've never been to a coral reef, just seen them in photos etc., so no where near being close to the real thing. I have 4 maybe 5 pieces of fabric that ended up looking like coral, well ot me anyway, so this is the nature of my newest series of art quilts.
